I received my wedding magnolia stamps the other day and finally got around to playing with them.This is my first attempt with them and I'm very impressed with what I've created.

I have coloured in with Tim Holtz Distress inks (thanks Kellie TPS for the tutorial)The skin was done with Tattered Rose, Hair with Antique Linen and Brushed CordoryI wanted a different look to the standard white dress so coloured in using Old Paper for a champagne look and some spun sugar for the second layer, the bridesmaid is done in worn lipstick and spun sugar.

I can't recall the cardstock used.

I have used a stamp it sentiment and the Kaszazz large bride & Groom silhouette, both have been embossed the sentiment in black and the silhouette in Fired Brick Distress emboss

I have added some flower soft to the roses, and used the sand flower soft under their feet.

Frosted lace stickles on the veil and pearls for a beautiful necklace and hairpiece.

This card has been created as part of the shopping order I received.I have used Tim Holtz Bundled Sage on the edges of the card.Stamps used are Kaszazz Picket Fence and Bird House.I have the roses growing up through the fence.
